Sun, 04 Dec 2016 20:18:44 +0000http://cfs-survivors.org/blog/?page_id=43#comment-5022Your symptoms are my symptoms. Classic adrenal dysfunction with lowered immune response. I am doing Nutritional Balancing with Pam Killeen as coach and Dr Lawrence Wilson, MD. Stress of all kinds leads to excess production of cortisol leading to adrenals not making other hormones properly leading to screwed up electrolytes leading to retention of heavy metals leading to screwed up brain chemistry and fatigue. You have to get the good electrolyte metals back in and the toxic heavy metals out. A long process but worth every minute of it. Wishing us all well.]]>Comment on My Symptoms by akbar haswarehttp://cfs-survivors.org/my-symptoms/#comment-4755

I haven’t seen the content but I’ve heard great things about it, and it’s newer that The Gupta Programme. Drop me a line if you’d like to talk more 1-on-1 via Skype.

Sat, 05 Nov 2016 06:48:40 +0000http://cfs-survivors.org/blog/?page_id=43#comment-4730I am suffering from this illness since last 15 years. My work efficiency is getting low day by day. I have had all of the above symptoms.
I was intending to buy the GUPTA PROGRAMME. Please advise me if it is just not a preferred programme to get cured from CFS/FM]]>Comment on My Cortisol levels are sky high by priorishttp://cfs-survivors.org/blog/2013/02/22/my-cortisol-levels-are-sky-high/#comment-4688
Tue, 01 Nov 2016 04:22:56 +0000http://cfs-survivors.org/?p=576#comment-4688I/m pretty sure my cortisone is very high. The symptoms correlate with it I think. I am 61 year old male and have had CFIDS since at least age 6.

I am currently taking Primaforce Cissus Quadrangularis as a stop gap measure. It blocks the cortisone receptors of the body. It has many other healthy benefits too.

I did jog about a couple miles and found that good but I wasn’t sure why until I realized the cortisol problem. Good pointer about exercise earlier part of the day.

They also say Cortisone is inversely correlated to Testosterone Cissus is suppose to raise testosterone too.

Thu, 27 Oct 2016 00:17:01 +0000http://cfs-survivors.org/?p=1104#comment-4641I relate; I went to many bible study groups when I was a Christian, and looking back now they were mostly a farce. Although I felt a little connection with other participants, I can see now that we were using theology to avoid actual intimacy. We wasted inordinate amounts of time and energy studying and debating the minute details of other ignorant superstitious people’s beliefs as described in an ancient book written in a different culture and time. After one of the groups disbanded I learned that one member had been having an affair with a married man at her workplace, another had been suicidal and personally I never disclosed the relationship problems I was experiencing. We all needed emotional support but just weren’t very honest with each other. The difference is that my men’s group tell the truth, and we don’t force feed any particular philosophy; it’s about connection with each other, not mysticism. If you’re feeling lonely, I recommend you give it a try or drop me a line.]]>Comment on Loneliness and My New Men’s Group by sai kit lohttp://cfs-survivors.org/blog/2016/10/20/loneliness-new-mens-group/#comment-4633
Wed, 26 Oct 2016 03:34:02 +0000http://cfs-survivors.org/?p=1104#comment-4633I never thought about going to a men’s group since I did it when I was a christian. It was a thing with evangelical christian. I found it mostly useless. These days I try to look up to successful people and follow their example, which is much more rewarding. A group of men united for sharpening their mind and sharing life experience (not religious talk) must be powerful.

I think you made a smart choice for joining a group to find out what other people’s live and thought are like. When I started making connection, I became much less depressed, even though my energy level prevented me from being very active with my social life.

Being tired is quite lonely. Its like living in a vast empty space. There were many nights I had to suffer anxiety and loneliness. This is definitely something people with high energy don’t always understand. I don’t want to be alone and yet I am always alone. Each year I was forgotten by more friends because I had no energy to make commitments.

I am surprised there is an entire website dedicated to the journey of people with CFS.

One of the most distressing thing that you can do to a human is put them in solitary confinement, and that’s one side effect of CFS. Social isolation is stressful and causes yet more anxiety, possibly keeping the vicious cycle of fight-or-flight hyperarousal going.”
This is it exactly. I am in this situation since having unexpected massive muscle relapse after moving house. (I did massively overdo it, muscle-wise, thought I was getting away with it.) The loneliness makes the suffering worse. I have friends and social contact but not being able to drive far is killing me! I’m going to get an automatic car.]]>
